Class is in Session: A History Teacher’s Guide to Saving Democracy.

James Matthew Sawatzki spent nearly four decades in the classroom, winning the Governor's Award for Excellence in Teaching History. Now, he’s retired, but he hasn’t stopped teaching. He’s just changed his classroom—to the entire American public.


His new book, "Fixing America," reads like the most engaging civics class you never had. Sawatzki uses his deep knowledge of history to contextually analyze today's headlines, proving that our current crises aren't unprecedented, and they certainly aren't unsolvable.


Why this book is different: It’s not written by a pundit looking for clicks. It’s written by an educator looking for understanding. Sawatzki breaks down complex foreign and domestic policies into digestible, logical essays. From the Israeli-Palestinian crisis to the restructuring of college education, he grades America’s current performance and offers a clear rubric for improvement.


Even Noam Chomsky has called his work "Interesting," and professors are calling it a "call to action."


Ready to go back to school and learn how we can actually build a better future?


Chalkboard with an upward arrow staircase labeled "SUCCESS." Words like "IDEA," "VISION," and "EDUCATION" are scattered around.
